What is the risk of not taking out travel insurance to Japan?

To do without travel insurance in Japan is to take unnecessary risks that can affect your well-being and your pocket. Medical care in this country is of very good quality, but it is also very expensive for foreign tourists. In addition, Japan is a country with high seismic activity, which can lead to unforeseen cancellations or interruptions in your trip.

And don't forget how common it is to miss connections or lose luggage on long flights with stopovers: if your suitcase is lost or damaged, it is very likely to cost you a lot of money.

Not having insurance in Japan means exposing yourself to unforeseen events in a distant country, with a different language and culture, without a support network. Is it really worth risking everything by not carrying full protection?

Want to know more about Japan?

In Japan, courtesy and punctuality are fundamental. For example, on public transportation, you are expected to be quiet and not to talk on the phone. And in many places, especially in houses, temples or some accommodations, it is customary to remove your shoes before entering. It is a sign of respect and hygiene. And how do people greet each other? No arms, no handshakes, no bowing (known as "bowing").
They bow (known as "ojigi"). The deeper the bow, the more respect you are showing.

A curious fact is that you don't tip in restaurants, in fact, doing so can be seen as disrespectful. Discretion is also key in Japan: no exaggerated gestures or loud voices. They are also very strict about recycling, so be sure to separate your waste!

Have you heard of geisha? They are highly respected traditional artists, experts in dance, music and conversation. Their appearance is an art form: every part of their clothing and makeup has a meaning, from the kimono to the hairstyle. It can have a symbolism about their status, the season of the year and the stage of their career. What about the samurai? They were noble warriors who lived by a code of honor called Bushido, which promoted values such as bravery, respect, honesty and loyalty. They were like medieval knights, but with katanas instead of swords.

Discover Japan: Sleeping Japanese style and much more.

Traditional Japanese homes offer a unique and different experience in terms of furnishings and lifestyle. They don't have beds and chairs like in Western homes. Instead of high beds and sofas, the Japanese use futons, which are thin mattresses that are placed directly on the floor. These futons are stored away during the day to free up space and unfolded at night for sleeping.

The floor of traditional homes is covered with tatamis, straw mats that provide a comfortable and flexible surface for sitting or sleeping. Tatamis are not only functional, but also have cultural and aesthetic significance, as their arrangement and maintenance are considered an art. Sitting on the floor on tatamis, instead of chairs, encourages a more natural and relaxed posture.

Two main religions coexist in Japan: Shinto, which worships the kami (spirits of nature and ancestors), and Buddhism, which is more focused on meditation and spiritual teachings. Visiting a temple or shrine is a sacred experience. You must show respect, keep silent and follow certain rules.

Finally, Japanese cuisine is a sensory experience that combines taste, aesthetics and tradition. Beyond sushi and ramen, each dish reflects culture and attention to detail. Eating in Japan is also a way to connect with its history and lifestyle.
